Constructing a CM Mumford fourfold from Shioda's fourfold

Algebraic Geometry 2019-06-07 v3

Abstract

Shioda proved that the Jacobian ASA_S of the curve y2=x91y^2 = x^9 -1 is a 4-dimensional CM abelian variety with codimension 2 Hodge cycles not generated by divisors. It was noted by Shioda that this behavior resembles the abelian varieties constructed by Mumford. We prove that Shioda's fourfold ASA_S cannot be realized as a special case of Mumford's construction. However, by modifying its Hodge structure, we construct a basis for computing the period matrix of a CM Mumford fourfold with multiplication by 3\sqrt{-3}.
